Detached triple-pile gable-fronted boathouse, built c.1860. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs. Rubble stone walls with quoins, having section of render to central gable of front (south) elevation. Camber-headed door opening to front elevation, having red brick voussoirs and double-leaf battened timber doors with wrought-iron strap hinges. Located on roadside overlooking Clonakilty harbour.
This boathouse with its striking triple-gabled façade is an unusual feature in the landscape. The rubble stone walls, red brick arch and timber battened doors add colour and textural variation. It was probably associated with a coastguard station which was located to the east, and serves as a reminder of the former importance of maritime activities in the area.

Explorer Tom Pier in Curraghgrane More is sticking out into the water looking very serious about its limestone coping stones. Built around 1860, it was probably there for coastguards, so if you see a seagull on it, that’s basically just part of the maritime heritage experience.

Northring HouseHouse · 305 yd

Explorer Tom Northring House is sitting on the bay like it owns the whole coastline, which is quite cheeky for a house from 1760. It’s got irregular windows that look like they’re winking at you. Tell me if the view from there is as good as the attitude.

Castle Arundel (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 553 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Arundel has no visible surface trace, meaning it’s just a hill pretending to be a castle, which is rude. Lord Arundel built it in the 1200s, but time has eaten the evidence. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse than my diet.

Explorer Tom Lios na gCon Ring Fort in County Cork is beautifully reconstructed, apparently. It looks too perfect for my taste, like it was built by a committee. Take a photo of that suspiciously neat entrance wall!

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Statue is standing guard in Clonakilty. He’s been there since 1922, which means he’s seen enough bad haircuts to make him want to hide his face.
